Native Package Installer, which uses the native macOS installer
(DMG) to walk you through the installation of MySQL. For more
information, see Section 2.4.2, “Installing MySQL on macOS Using Native Packages”. You can
use the package installer with macOS. The user you use to
perform the installation must have administrator privileges.

Compressed TAR archive, which uses a file packaged using the
Unix tar and gzip
commands. To use this method, you will need to open a
Terminal window. You do not need
administrator privileges using this method, as you can install
the MySQL server anywhere using this method. For more
information on using this method, you can use the generic
instructions for using a tarball,
Section 2.2, “Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries”.
